Playing as Vex

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Save your empowered spell for a dash

    When Doom 'n Gloom (passive) is ready, save Personal Space (W) for the enemy who jumps on you: the shockwave fears them and interrupts their dash, and you gain a shield.

  2. Make every dash cost them

    When an enemy dashes near you, Doom 'n Gloom (passive) marks them: hit them with Mistral Bolt (Q) for bonus damage, and your empowerment comes back sooner.

  3. Ult in, then Personal Space

    After the Shadow Surge (R) dash, follow up with Personal Space (W): the shield protects you on arrival, and the shockwave fears if Doom 'n Gloom (passive) is ready.

  4. Chain your ults

    If the champion marked by Shadow Surge (R) dies shortly after being hit by it, its cooldown is reset for a moment: recast it right away at another target.

Playing against Yone

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off after two Mortal Steels

    Get out of his line after two Mortal Steel (Q) hits: the next one makes him dash forward and knocks the enemies hit into the air.

  2. Avoid his hits in spirit form

    During Soul Unbound (E), avoid taking hits: when he snaps back, part of all the damage he dealt you is repeated.

  3. Trap his return

    If you have ground-targeted CC, place it on the body he left behind: when Soul Unbound (E) ends, he has to return there.

  4. Judge him by his crit items

    Judge his threat by his crit items more than his level: Way of the Hunter (passive) raises his critical strike chance, so each crit item does more for him.

  5. Don't line up with your allies

    In teamfights, don't line up with your allies in front of him: Fate Sealed (R) hits every enemy in a line and knocks them into the air toward him.
